Plan an Event
If you have a great idea for an event, we would love to hear your proposal. We are looking for students, faculty or staff to host an event related to the theme of Creating a legacy of understanding from a world of connection.
2023 marks a return to IDays and launches TRU World’s 40th anniversary. IDays 2023 will not only celebrate 40 years of international excellence and innovation, but it will explore themes central to TRU, such as Inclusion & Diversity, Community-mindness, Curiosity & Sustainability.
Whether you know exactly what your event will be or if you just have a great idea, let us know, we want you to be a part of our celebrations. We will assist with event coordination and marketing if your event is chosen.
